Hi,
a question about license:
I bought the license when CBSubs was 1.0.3.
Can I install the CbSubs 1.1.1 or I need to upgrade?
Thanks

Thanks for asking - helps us clarify things. The policy "in theory" is as follows:

Your license purchase is a lifetime deal. Means that you can use it on your website forever. Since the license is floating you can also move it (uninstalling previous) to another website as needed.

CBSubs purchasers with up-to-date maintenance service are able to download latest CBSubs and use with their lifetime license. Note: all new purchases have 1 year free maintenance service automatically included. To upgrade maintenance on an existing CBSubs license just follow the instructions
here
.

CBSubs purchasers that have not kept their maintenance service up-to-date cannot download newer CBSubs version and such version will not operate on their existing license. However the license will work just fine on all prior versions that were available during the active maintenance period.

Expired maintenance license purchasers basically have 2 choices: extend maintenance period to cover elapsed period and download/install/apply latest version to existing license. Or leave license as is (that can be used forever on previous CBSubs version) and purchase a new license.

Well, that's the policy theory. However we have not enforced this for CBSubs 1.1 but we will be enforcing it in the future. This means that all CBSubs purchasers (even without up-to-date maintenance periods) can at-this-time download/install/operate CBSubs 1.1/1.1.1 on there existing license.

So my recommendation(s): Keep your maintenance period service updated (follow FAQ article posted above) to be able to take advantage of new releases and new features. If your business case has taken off and you do not want to bother with each year renewals, then consider upgrading to lifetime maintenance contract (also an upgrade maintenance option).

Sorry for the long response - just giving enough information and examples to make things clear.

http://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/238715-is-there-a-simple-listing-of-community-builder-features#302734

I've looked on the CB website but cannot find a simple listing of the features of Community Builder—there certainly are long descriptions but they don't really go into much detail. Is there one published somewhere?

Yes, all our plugins are template driven as well as CB. However, CB is Bootstrap 3 and will soon be Bootstrap 4. So you could mass-style CB simply by using a Bootstrap driven Joomla template and turning CBs Bootstrap off in CB > Configuration > Integrations.

• Can the user search/filter by category, alphabetical, etc.?

There are no categories for profiles so unsure what you're referring to.

What Kyle is saying is that you could do this with the CB Auto Actions plugin (part of the Professional membership as is CB Gallery).]]>PresalesSat, 10 Feb 2018 03:37:59 +0000CB Gallery SubFolder - by: krileonhttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/238516-cb-gallery-subfolder#301774

Is it possible to create a subfolder (folder in folder) in CB Gallery ?

For the first 20 subscribers they get 12 months at eg $20/month, then the plan switches to $30/month at the end of the year; all subscribers after the first 20 who sign up, get the membership at $30/month.

Trying to decide on CBSubs vs other membership extensions.

Many thanks!
Andrew

building on what kyle wrote, you can probably setup a promotion that is depending on a cb query field that actually queries for the number of subscriptions. This way you can do exactly what you want.]]>PresalesTue, 23 Jan 2018 00:50:44 +0000CB privacy - simplify frontend options? - by: CherryRedhttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/238331-cb-privacy-simplify-frontend-options#301020

If you wanted an activity stream for your users you'd also want the following.

Your best option would be to just sort by the profile type field so the high flyers display at the top of the list. What custom CSS you apply from there to style them further would be up to you though. You could also just have 2 userlists 1 with high flyer and 1 without.[/quote]

Hello, I seemed to have figured out the sorting part. I added a single option dropdown and sorted by this in my grid list view.

I don't quite follow how I could style them slightly different so they have say a different color background or a star. How could I designate a CSS style for only that option?

Or perhaps an easier solution by just showing my "High Flyer" text under the name in the grid? If I make it a single checkox field that I check can it still sort by that and display the text? Maybe the dropdown is the wrong approach?

I'm in the UK and have been using Stripe for 18 months or so to process cards on all my ecommerce sites - I also have PayPal Express as another payment option. I closed my PayPal Pro account in favour of Stripe - I wish I had done it sooner.

Works perfectly, never had a problem *and* their fees are much cheaper than PayPal. Another benefit is that you can have 'sub-accounts' for each of your websites with the actual website's name, or whatever you choose, display on your customers card statements.

You do have to have SSL on your checkout etc but nowadays I think most people already have.

Also, with a tight budget and I will probably miss the Halloween promotion

As for what products you'll need so far it sounds like you'd only be using CB GroupJive for community groups, but I suppose you could make do with just private messaging through UddeIM without the community group features of CB GroupJive.

will you be running any other promotions similar in the coming weeks or months? I sure hope so!

Hi can you confirm that CB subs can be configured with calendar based subscription, so I can set my yearly membersuip to start from jan 1 to dec 31?

Yes, there is by calendar based subscription durations for year and month.

Is it possible so set a "tolerance period", to consider membership still valid after expiration? (something like "Your membership's expired, you can renew within 30 days")

Yes, you can configure a Grace period before actual expiration.

Is it possible to set an "advance registration", so a user registering in december will be considered a member for the following year?

I will try with CB Activity but the question is: the doctor (as administrator) can add posts to another user's "walls" without log out and login everytime as the patient? And can he do it from frontend?

They don't need to logout. Just directly go to that patients profile and post directly on that patients stream. The post will show on that patients profile from the doctor.]]>PresalesTue, 17 Oct 2017 15:08:08 +0000Demo for membership templates - by: pastowebhttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/237567-demo-for-membership-templates#298098

That is most helpful. I think we can just setup those 4 on our test site along with Auto Actions and proceed from there. I have looked at your test site but it is hard to envision how it would look and feel in the sort of setup that we want for the club.

I will clear funds and get the ball rolling. I am hoping CB will work well for our Club as an internal communication tool.

is it possible to show CBSubs plan based on user type filed !? This would be a great solution

Yes, under the Workflows tab of your plans you can configure conditions for them to display. You could configure a condition for your plan to display based off the value in your usertype field for example.

Again, you can try all of this on our demo site below. I highly encourage you to do this before committing to buying anything. We provide full backend and frontend demo.

Depends on what you want to integrate. If you mean push CB data to that component then probably using CB Auto Actions and its Query or Code action would be sufficient.

2. Will CB Paid Subscription integrate will the listing pages:

Depends on what you want to integrate. If you mean have a CBSubs plan to purchase a listing then yes I suppose it could do that, but you'll need a plan per listing.

3. Is there a CB plugin for auction and bidding?

Nope.

4. Could we generate an invoice with CB for each payment received?

As long as you're using single payments instead of recurring payments a new basket is generated with every payment. A basket in CBSubs is basically an invoice. Recurring payments do not generate new baskets so no you won't have an invoice per payment in that case.]]>PresalesThu, 07 Sep 2017 16:21:37 +0000request before buying CB auto actions - by: krileonhttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/237268-request-before-buying-cb-auto-actions#296804

Joomla and CB have always been dynamic databases with various amounts of static and dynamic SQL. You are unlikely to find any static databases still in use today beyond proprietary usages where the data structure can be guaranteed and known. SQL however can be static or dynamic and basically just means are there variables being used in the SQL statement or not (if yes, then dynamic and if no then static).]]>PresalesThu, 24 Aug 2017 16:05:06 +0000CB Subscription - by: beathttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/237190-cb-subscription#296473

http://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/237021-businesses-public#295872

Is it also possible to create 2 different registration forms?

Yes, the registration from can dynamically change what is available using CB Conditional; otherwise no you can't have 2 different completely separate registration forms. The first field available for example would be a dropdown to select their profile type. You'd then have tabs/fields show/hide based off that selection which would alter the registration form to suit the type. You can freely demo all of our products (frontend and backend) on our demo site below if you want to try it out.

The business registration has to be verified by admin, the "normal users" must be automatically be activated.

Only way to require admin approval for one type, but not another is to use CB Auto Actions to force the normal users to approved during registration and leave the business users as unapproved while having registration approval enabled. CBSubs can also accomplish this using subscriptions (which could be free and be your profile type selection).]]>PresalesThu, 27 Jul 2017 16:32:32 +0000grouping members together - by: krileonhttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/237015-grouping-members-together#295635

- Is it, or wil it soon be possible, to post media content on the walls of groups?

Yes, once CB Activity integrates with GJ this will be possible using the Links feature. Otherwise at this time you can share media by simply adding the URL to your post.

- I have an extension that needs to post content on group and friends walls. Where can I find documentation on how to develop a plugin for this task?

There's no documentation for such a thing. We've very little API documentation. Typically you can just directly insert your new content into the database.

- I need some tool to perform recurring administrative tasks, Auto Action looks like a suitable candidate. Is it possible to schedule these action using CRON?

Yes, each auto action is given a direct URL to execute it that you can use with CRON. Additionally there is an Internal Users (this will loop your auto action through every user, be careful with this one) and Internal General trigger that you can assign to auto actions then execute the respective internal users or internal general URL from CRON.]]>PresalesMon, 10 Jul 2017 14:22:57 +0000Payment Gateway options - by: ssvthttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/236901-payment-gateway-options#295238

We are going to work with a developer (not you guys I know! ) so hopefully they can help us evaluate to the next level.

1) is it possible to have user management in frontend for my customer who dont have backend access ?

To an extent, yes. If they're a CB Moderator they can edit profiles from frontend if profile edit for moderators is enabled in CB > Configuration > Moderation. As for creating new users they'd have to log out first.

2) is it possible to have paid subscriptions (ex: 20$ for first year, 10$ for others years after) with a paypal link.

CBSubs can provide subscriptions and supports PayPal. Not sure what you mean by with a PayPal link.

3) is it possible to display notifications for many event of the website ? (ex: other user changed his email adress, contact form has been spend, ...)

CB Activity and CB Auto Actions can log and display various activity on a users activity stream. CB Auto Actions with UddeIM can be used to send PMS notifications. CB Auto Actions by it self can be used to send email notifications. As for what activity is monitored and notified about depends on if a CB trigger is available (yes for email address and no for contact form).

About the code, do you think it is possible to do it adding php code into your plugin CB Code Field?
I need a code of 6 numbers which identify each user.

You'd probably need to generate and store it so you'd likely need CB Auto Actions and a Query action.]]>PresalesTue, 27 Jun 2017 19:14:55 +0000Can one account (user) have and manage multiple memberships/subscriptions - by: krileonhttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/236753-can-one-account-user-have-and-manage-multiple-memberships-subscriptions#294498

Subscriptions is a bit tricky. CBSubs has no functionality to have 1 user pay for multiple users subscriptions, but again you can try to force it with CB Auto Actions as it can give subscriptions but it maybe difficulty doing that to a list of users.

In short I want to say yes this is doable, but it's going to be a complex and difficult setup and highly not recommended for anyone new to CB.]]>PresalesWed, 31 May 2017 19:42:58 +0000Send eMails to Groups - by: krileonhttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/236727-send-emails-to-groups#294398

You can access CB Auto Actions using a Professional or Developer subscription. If you need only CB Auto Actions you can buy it individually from our add-ons page below.

I am wondering if I can use the CB Auto Actions so as to retrieve data from a DB and then pass these data to specific K2 ITEM extra fields.

CB Auto Actions comes with a Query and Code action. So you can execute whatever SQL or PHP you want. In other words yes, but you'll have to code it. CB Auto Actions is also primarily designed to act on a trigger (e.g. after registration, profile edit, login, etc..), but it doesn't have to if you want it to be ran manually or from CRON.]]>PresalesWed, 17 May 2017 15:09:02 +0000Alert - by: krileonhttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/236643-alert#294094

You need to first understand what Joomla and CB it self are even capable of doing at their most basic. For example Joomla and CB of course have user management, unique IDs per user, etc...

CBSubs can handle memberships in many different ways (what gateways are available are also listed on the CBSubs product page). GJ Events can probably handle class registration as you can specific a start date, end date, and amount of "Guests" per event so that may work otherwise you need some sort of extension to handle that as we've nothing else close to that usage.

To be honest it sounds like you need an entirely different CMS than Joomla. Probably Moodle which is designed for learning, teaching, schools, etc..]]>PresalesWed, 19 Apr 2017 15:56:31 +0000events & CB - by: HdCmshttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/236442-events-cb#293211

1) How difficult is it to add a new gateway?

Depends on your programming ability, but it's not a simple task by any means and requires advanced PHP knowledge. If you've never wrote PHP or only done basic things then it will likely be an improbable and frustrating experience. Not only do you need to be knowledgeable in PHP, but also whatever gateway you're creating needs to have the API that's well documentation. Understanding of latest security coding standards is also highly recommended.

It is worth noting we do not assist with coding custom gateways in any way. We will not review them. We will not debug them. Any issues you may have using a custom gateway should be handled by whoever developed it. We simply can't provide any form of guarantee for code we did not write.

2) Is it possible to hook CBSubs into the user approval process?
Our client wants their users to sign up, then be approved by an administrator, and then receive a link to a page where they can pay, before they become "approved"/"enabled". (sign up -> admin approves -> user pays -> login/use site)

Yes, there is a parameter for payment to be after admin approval. This is done under the Workflows tab of your plans within CBSubs.

3) How does the offline payment option work?
We've taken a look at the CB demo site, but can't quite see how it works. From other posts on the forums, it seems there's a manual step, but what is the user's status until "paid"? (Seemingly, the cbadministrator user on the demo site doesn't have access to see/edit payment methods)

A user purchases with the offline gateway and at the end of the process is given a payment slip. They print the payment slip and mail you a check or cash or I suppose they could do a wire transfer if that's what you're wanting. When the payment is received you pay the basket from within CBSubs > Baskets.

4) Can coupons have on-demand generated/unique codes?
Our client would like to be able to give away coupon codes that give people a free membership, without risking using a blanket "free for all" coupon code. Effectively they want single-use coupon codes, without too much management (they're not interested in creating 100s of coupons/promotions manually). Is this possible?

If you use something to generate the coupon codes or have the coupon code be dependent on a field. So for example I suppose you could use CB Auto Actions to insert a new database row for a coupon and you'd execute the action to generate a coupon code to give out. The alternative is for the coupon code to be set to a field value and adding coupon codes to each users field.

4.5) How does coupon codes that are equal to a CB field work?
We see that it's possible to create a coupon code that is equal to a CB field, which we could then limit to a single use. Would this be a way to do single-use codes? (Looking at chapter 8.4 in the manual, however, it doesn't quite seem to work the way we want it to work)

It pulls the coupon code from a value in the users profile. So you could have a field hold the coupon code that they'd need to supply. Yes, this would make it unique per user. To make it single use per user you can set "Maximum uses per customer (0=unlimited)" to "1". This may work with CB Code Field or CB Query Field to generate coupon codes using PHP or SQL, but have never tried that.]]>PresalesTue, 04 Apr 2017 16:54:04 +0000Archived Versions - by: krileonhttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/236319-archived-versions#292666

1. If I buy the full package, which includes CB Subs, how can I be sure this will work on my hosting provider. We are on a shared hosting provider until we get the site built, then will upgrade at some point. I do not see any warranty / guarantee but my site meets or exceeds all the minimum requirements in the documentation. It's a pretty big chunk of change to spend and it stated as non-refundable - which is fine as long as it works as described and demoed.

There is no guarantee that anything will work on your host. As long as it meets all the requirements of CB and Joomla you should theoretically be fine. We can't guarantee a stable hosting environment outside of our own. We provide a 30 day money back guarantee for first time purchases of our subscriptions and products. See the below for details.

That page can be found directly under the Support menu item at the top. Regarding the non-refundable statement in our general terms is specifically states "All products are non-refundable unless otherwise explicitly stated or required by applicable laws". The underlined part being very important (see Warranty).

2. The General Terms state: Subscription services with support services SLA (Service Level Agreement) are subject to our best efforts to meet or beat our guaranteed response times. In case of proven failure to meet our guaranteed initial response time, the corresponding ticket will not count towards the yearly limit. Unused support tickets are not carried-over or redeemed in any way.

I have not been able to find what the yearly limit is anywhere. Could you please let me know what this is?

That's out of date and needs to be changed. We don't provide ticket support anymore. All our support is exclusively handled on the forums with private information exchanged through PMs. The ticketing system was too clunky and resulted in longer response times than just simply using the forums, which is within minutes/hours during business hours. There is no limit to the amount of support forum posts you can make, but we do ask that people keep it reasonable (waking up to 20 new topics from 1 person does not make for a good day ).]]>PresalesFri, 17 Mar 2017 15:26:32 +0000Subscriptions and Content - by: krileonhttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/236227-subscriptions-and-content#292224
http://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/236227-subscriptions-and-content#292224

1. Playing around in the admin section of the demo, there appears to be three plans created - but all three have access level set to public. I assume this can be set to any access level I add under "users - access levels". When I try to edit it or create a new plan, I get the following error: The integration plugin 'CBSubs CB Field' is installed but not published.. Going to plugins - I don't see where I can add or publish that. So I can't see what my options would be other than "Public".

That's just a warning that one of the CBSubs plugins is installed, but not published. Has nothing to do with preventing creation of plans. The access is typically also irrelevant to the plan as the plan controls access to various parts of the site, but yes you can set the access for the plan to whatever you like.

2. I published three test articles one set to public, one to registered and one to moderator: Note: When I publish an article, if I leave it as uncategorized, then it cannot be seen by any user except the Admin as far as I can tell. So I set the category for all three to "general" under blogs.

The moderator demo login can correctly see all three articles.
The user login can correctly see the two articles for public and registered.
But if I don't login at all, I cannot find the article. - where is this available to public?

The article and its category should be set to Public access then the category or the article it self should be protected by your plan using CBSubs Content. That is the only way for the article to be visible, but only accessible by someone with an active subscription. View access levels are absolute. If you set something to Registered then it's of course not going to be accessible to Public; CBSubs does not override this.

3. Also - the menus seem confusing. When the users login, open the articles or the blog module, both options lead to the same view. The articles are not listed, only an article for CB Blog. But if the category "general" is selected on the centered/right column, the articles can be viewed. I assume what I'm seeing is only the two articles published by Susan, the demo user when I look at the main page. When I click on general it is somehow taking me to a different view that has not been instantiated from a demo menu.

It's a demo site to demo each product and the menus are structured as such. It's not a demo for Joomla. You can structure your menus however you please. For the purpose of testing you can add whatever menu items you want to the demo site as it resets regularly.

So far so good - the content access permissions seem to fulfill our needs. I assume when I buy and start using page builder I can add modules to a column to show articles, featured articles, etc. These cannot be seen seemingly in the demo layouts.

If the module utilizes normal Joomla events for content then yes CBSubs will block its access accordingly.

So far it doesn't sound like you need CBSubs to protect the article, but you just want CBSubs to give the user different usergroups based off their subscription then protect content that way which is also doable using CBSubs.

4. Is the page builder function available via the demo?

We're not the developers of SP Page Builder. It's just being used for the purpose of our site. You can get SP Page Builder below. You do not get SP Page Builder with your subscription as again we're not its developer.

I suggest taking a bit more time to understand what you do and do not get with your subscription as well as clarify further what you want to achieve with CBSubs. You can find a chart below detailing what each subscription offers.

but couldn't log on as another user to see what could be seen / not seen - a problem I'm finding on most sites as I try to compare privacy features.

There's a module to select a user to automatically login as directly on the left of the demo site home page above the login module. We provide several accounts for you to login as (click the more button for a much larger list). Alternatively you can register your own test account or simply login to backend and make a few accounts if you like.]]>PresalesMon, 13 Mar 2017 17:00:39 +0000CB is for my project? - by: Virtuoxhttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/236159-cb-is-for-my-project?start=12#292090

1. There would be 3 types of membership plans, eg Level 1, 2 and 3.
2. Restricted areas accessible only to members. Is there a way to control the contents available only the respective membership level? Eg, if a user signs up for Level 1 membership, therefore only level 1 contents will be made available? Does CB allow this to be implemented?

Both can be done using CBSubs.

3. Members' personal area where they can upload files (PDF, DOC, JPEG) to share with the administrator. These would only be accessible only when they login. Would administrators be able to upload files to this member's page directly?

That can be done with CB Gallery and yes CB Moderators can upload to users profiles.

4. Can the CB system allow a member to make an adhoc payment to access additional content to the site? eg, if a Level 1 member buys a "super" pass, will the system be able to reflect the "super" status?

Yes, this would just be a subscription in CBSubs that gives them access to whatever content you're wanting. If it's a one-off purchase instead of timed you'd use a lifetime subscription.]]>PresalesThu, 09 Feb 2017 17:05:26 +0000Profile "Thanks" tab. - by: nanthttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/235845-profile-thanks-tab#291216

http://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/235907-cb-gallery-plugin#290847
The gallery tab provided with CB Gallery won't provide this out of the box as you currently can not change the asset and you need to use a custom asset to prevent allowing the profile owner to edit or delete the gallery items you upload. So to do this you'd create a gallery field. Then you'd set the asset to something like "private.[user_id]" (exactly that except without quotes). This would generate a gallery private to the profile it's displayed on, but the access to create gallery entries will be entirely based off whatever create access you set (e.g. this could be just your super users).

You can then set the gallery field as Private privacy using CB Privacy. You can also customize what file types are allowed to upload (.doc is permitted by default) so that shouldn't be an issue. This should cover your usecase exactly. However I encourage you to try this out on our demo site below.

CB does not have classifieds functionality. You'd need to use a 3rd party extension for classifieds. Several classifieds extensions have payment systems built in or as part of an add-on otherwise you can possibly use CBSubs to add a payment system to it.

Profile Types can be accomplished by having a Select fieldtype where they select their profile and you then condition various other fields or tabs using CB Conditional based off the profile type selected. This can be filtered in backend user management or a frontend userlist (if field is set to be searchable on that userlist).

Additionally you can purchase single add-ons individually if you only need 1-2 plugins.

Additionally if you still want to accept cash/check you can do so using the Offline payment gateway and the only manual step would be confirming their payment by paying the basket when the payment comes in.

Seams like a relatively simple setup. I recommend reading through the CBSubs Manual and taking a look at CBSubs in our demo site as well.]]>PresalesThu, 03 Nov 2016 14:57:13 +0000Sign-MojeID connection to plug CB-connect - by: krileonhttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/235108-sign-mojeid-connection-to-plug-cb-connect#287347

http://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/235052-upgrading-facebook-api-graph-in-facebook-plugin#287080
I am using Community Builder 2.0.2 and Facebook plugin 6.0.2.

I have just received a Facebook Developer warning telling that my site is using API Graph 2.1 and I need to upgrade to Graph 2.8.

The question is, how can I do such an upgrade in the facebook plugin? Plugin Version 7 already implements Graph 2.8? can I safely upgrade this plugin to version 7 without upgrading the full Community Builder?

Please dón't suggest to upgrade the full Community Builder. because this software is the worst I have ever seen with respect to templating system. In order to adapt this component to my design, I needed to modify the core, so it is now impossible to upgrade without losing my changes.

I have paid for an advanced membership however, this subscription has expired. That is why _I am posting this question here, so I hope someone can help me to accomplish the Facebook Graph upgrade.

A plan that lasts 12 months but expired at a fixed date whatever is the date of subscription. I have understood in the documentation that "Start of the year" would do the job if I stipulate start of the year on 1 october 2016, then all subscriptions would expire on 30 september 2017.

Correct, that'll work by using the by calendar year plan duration.

What happen if I want to give some tolerance say 2 months. Shall I give a 14 month period ?

Yes, if they subscribe 2 months before the year ends it'll give those 2 months free and subscribe them for next year.

Can I create a subscription plan with a price depending on cb_field options such as Magazine "yes"/"No" ? The cb_field being showed in the subscriber CB profile and the value in € of the "yes" choice being different depending on the plan?

Yes, you can dynamically change a plans price using a CBSubs Promotion. A negative promotion increases the price while a positive decreases it. This can be conditioned based off a field, etc.. Fields can be shown/hidden based off subscription as well. Not sure what you mean regarding the value condition.

Note we have a demo for all our products available below (frontend and backend access is provided) so please do feel free to try this out.

How do you do this? Do you have a step by step direction of how to implement this?

No, this is a usercase that has, as far as I know, never been done before. You'd need to create an auto action that automatically logs a user in. This is done using CB Auto Actions and is relatively easy to setup. You'd first need to make a lifetime plan that gives access to whatever you wanting. Next create a CB user that'd be used for the institutes login. The auto action would then use a Login / Logout action with Triggers set to None and the username set to the institute account. Now using the URL for that action will automatically log you in. The next steps are up to you on how you want to secure this, but most likely under Conditions is where you'd want to check for users ip address or better option would be to use a secret key you generate (basically make a password of some kind) and condition against that. The institute would then use the URL with the key in the URL.

Subscription is on an annual basis. At the end of the year, the institute can renew or cancel. So, having a lifetime will not work. Or is lifetime just a term you are using to describe a type of account?

Then the subscription on the institute account would be all 1 year. This is an entirely hypothetical situation as again no one has tried doing this that I am aware of.

Can CBSubs protect images, video, and audio so that it is only accessible to the member?

Depends on where those images, videos, etc.. are coming from. If for example from CB Gallery then yes as you'd just protect the gallery tab or its menu item as needed.

Is there a demo for CBSubs?

Yes, all our products can be demoed below (frontend and backend access is available).

The demo site is reset regularly so feel free to play around with it and try things out. You can probably even test out this usecase there or try configuring various usecases.

When using CBSubs and Community Builder, do you have the option to display or hide your members?

Profile access is entirely up to you and is just a view access level configured in CB > Configuration > User Profile. Profiles can also be protected using CB Privacy using privacy controls. Fields and Tabs can be protected per plan using CBSubs Fields Tabs Protection as well. Then there's also CB Conditional for conditioned access.]]>PresalesMon, 26 Sep 2016 18:35:30 +0000CB pre-sales questions - by: nanthttp://www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/234829-cb-pre-sales-questions#286261
